Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Personification

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. Personification

The waves beside them, but they imagery

Out did the sparkling waves in glee;

In such a jocund company!

For oft when on my couch I lie imagery

In vacant or in pensive mood, Metaphor
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
